Up for auction are 3 VINTAGE HANDMADE PRINTERS WOODEN TEXTILE BLOCKS FROM INDIA. All 3 blocks have wire on the back for hanging.  These blocks are highly collectible as they represent an era of beautiful designs used in the art of block printing.  NOTE: Block printing is practiced in regions of India where a cotton or silk fabric is printed with the help of wooden blocks with beautifully carved or incised designs. First the outline block is printed, after which the blocks for filling in the colors and designs are systematically applied. Wood printing stamps and hand carved wooden print blocks have been used to print everything from newspapers, flyers, and match boxes to traditional clothing, bedspreads and fabrics.  Nearly a lost art, this handcraft work will soon be lost because of modern technology such as automated web presses and silk screening that is replacing hand made, hand carved wood print blocks used in hand printing fabrics and textiles.  Thank you for looking.
